Bandstand Promenade

The Basics

If you want to (potentially) catch a Bollywood star out for a morning jog (or even want to do a bit of seaside jogging yourself), this is the place to go. Because of its location near the posh Bandra neighborhood, it's not uncommon to glimpse a star here; until 2014, there was even a Hollywood-inspired Walk of the Stars here featuring handprints of Indian mega-celebrities, and it's still a popular stop on Bollywood-themed tours.

How to Get There

The Bandstand Promenade stretches along the coast, from just north of Bandra Fort and the Basilica of Our Lady of the Mount and clear up to the southern reaches of Bandra West. It's well-connected to the rest of Mumbai by public transportation, and the Bandra commuter railway station is about a 10-minute taxi ride away.
